"Amazing service"

Arrived at the hospital with my daughter who was having an asthma attack. She was very distressed, but from the moment we arrived the service was fantastic. The person on reception was kind and reassuring and made sure we were seen quickly. The nurse who saw her was amazing - calm and thorough. I cannot sing their praises enough. Made me proud to be British - God bless the NHS!!!

I have shared your very kind comments with the MIU manager where they will be shared with the MIU team and much appreciated.
